Freedom Holding Corp. Named to 2019 OTCQX Best 50

ALMATY, KAZAKHSTAN / ACCESSWIRE / January 24, 2019 / Freedom Holding Corp. (OTCQX: FRHC) is pleased to announce it has been named to the 2019 OTCQX® Best 50, a ranking of top performing companies traded on the OTCQX Best Market last year.

The OTCQX Best 50 is an annual ranking of the top 50 U.S. and international companies traded on the OTCQX market. The ranking is calculated based on an equal weighting of one-year total return and average daily dollar volume growth in the previous calendar year. Companies in the 2019 OTCQX Best 50 were ranked based on their performance in 2018.

Company CEO, Timur Turlov, stated, "It's an honor to be ranked No. 5 on the 2019 OTCQX Best 50 and it's also validation of the hard work and dedication of the entire FRHC team. We believe sharing a ranking on the 2019 OTCQX Best 50 list with other well-known issuers such as Gazprom Neft PJSC (ranked 17th), Zurich Insurance Group Ltd. (ranked 29th) and Adidas AG (ranked 41st) is confirmation that we are among the leading issuers trading on the OTCQX. We anticipate that we will continue to be an attractive investment because of the compelling business opportunity we have identified in many markets that have been underserved in the financial services industry and our ability to execute our strategy within these markets."

To qualify for the OTCQX market, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance, demonstrate compliance with U.S. securities laws and have a professional third-party sponsor introduction.
